Well I don't use testosterone sups or any type of roids. It am still confident that the pimples are coming from my diet. I switched protein powders and they seem to be clearing up. I was told the protein power I was using was crap by a lab which said that is contained hardly any protein, so...

I have been getting pimples around my body, specially in the middle of my chest. I have never had pimples on my chest, and have not really got many pimples for years. My mates reckon that its from the sups I have been eating like protein powder and creatine. Some of my mates say that get it...

Thanks. I will alt bench step ups with dead lifts. How do I know what weights to use when setting up HST while alternating? Also if I DB press 38kg total, what would be a good roundabout weight to start military press?

I might add some lunges, but I am very weak at them on my left leg. Should I replace the DL with lunges, add them in or alternate? Same with the military press, should I add it, replace the DB press, or alternate?

Thanks Jester. I will consider your advice. Some points are that I only have a home gym, so I can't safely do squats without a rack. Plus I have a weak leg from ACL surgery. All I have is a bench, barbell and dumbells. I have no other machines or equipment that I can do leg extensions with...

I think I will just do my routine 3-4 times a week. I am on my second week of 10's now, and I do 2 sets of everything. My scales are crap. According to my mums scales I have put on 2kg AND lost fat. Plus my commented on much bigger I look without me even mentioning anything. So I am giving...

Yeah that's what I have. I take it they are not accurate enough to make weekly comparisons then? I recall a study where they cut half a rats hamstring away and made it exercise continuously. The muscle regrew very quickly despite continuous training.

Yeah I will try and to find a gym in Thailand. I have been eating heaps more. My fat % has been going up. But my weight hasn't. Its strange. I think I look like I have more muscle? Maybe I am just in denial. I will increase my protein intake dramatically.

What should I get tested.

Would it be better to perform the same routine 5 times a week instead of increasing reps by that much? I think the workout will take too long if I do more than 2 sets per exercise. I think 2 sets of 10 will make it about an hour. I have heard that going for more than one hour is detrimental...

I would not mind a bit of extra fat if it is a trade off for a nice muscle gain. Or I would not mind some fat loss with a smaller muscle gain. Losing muscle and gaining fat is NOT what I want. I have 6 weeks to go hard before I will have 4 week off while holidaying well away from any gym...

I'm not very encouraged after my first 2 weeks of 15's. I started using protein shakes and eating 2 huge serves of meat a day with pasta etc and heaps drinking heaps of milk. The only weight gains I made are in body fat. Then again I don't know how good my scales are. Its early days yet but...

Do you mean Boris?

Thanks. I finished my 15's and according to my scales it's not promising. Mon 24 Oct 81kg 22% Mon 31 Oct 81.3 23% Sun 6 Nov 79.9 21.9% Maybe I need to work out more often? There is so much less volume than what I am used to. I used to do a full body workout everyday.

Squats are too much for my year old ACL reconstruction. I hope to be able to do them at a later time. Do you think HST will help my leg? Hey can I do my routine 4-5 times a week? On some of my days off I just feel like doing more. I have gained a bit of fat after my SD and I feel that this...
